Congratulations!

A new milestone in Traverso :-)

OK, if you make a diff, then I'll upload it next week (I'm at my parents
home for this week with no Linux install available)

Hm, not sure if I understand.
If you use --d3, you will see the output from the InputEngine.
It probably is an idea to send me that output, with explanation of what
you did.
Too ease debugging, it's maybe better to make a special "debug
inputengine" option.
(Do you mean a "hold" key automatically releases after 2 seconds? Is there
perhaps a "keyboard settings" configuration somewhere in os x to set
standard behaviour?)

This has something to do with 'Bundle' stuff, right?

If Qt is installed on someones system, then it's likely not making sense
to include it in the Bundle, on the other hand, if it doesn't require too
much space....
But I'm unable to give advice in this respect, I've no idea how things are
managed on OS X.

Thanks again for the porting effort!

(if you feel adventures, I know a Mac OS X driver implementation which
easily can be ported to Traverso, so you don't need jack ;-P )
